Ha'azinu - Defying Nature

What does the verse mean when it says that nothing can be added to Hashem's creation? Why does Hashem sometimes change the order of creation? Why is it sometimes done for a righteous individual? Why does one midrash seem to indicate that it is done in order to impart a sense of awe, while another seems to indicate that it is done out of love? Why does Moshe ask the heavens to stop singing their song in order that he have a chance to sing his own song - the song of Haazinu?
